![]() Troy: If you want to be a leader, you need to understand that a strong leader is one who gets the best out of every individual on his team. He feels that Sarah will be a problem because she is the youngest. Troy obviously thinks he's the best cook out of all of them, but in this case, he's not cooking by himself and he should try to work more as a team player and not as a dictator. Sarah is not happy with that, and I don't blame her.Īs a form of respect, Troy should have let Gavin explain his plan and then eventually given his insight. Gavin, the team captain, should take the lead, but seems to stand back and let Troy run the game. The 60-minute prep time starts, and Troy is really taking over the blue team strategy. ![]() After the ravioli is prepped, all the junior cooks will need to do is boil them for three minutes and sauté them with the sauce. The young cooks will have 60 minutes to prep for service and in that time both teams need to nail the ravioli to get comfortable for the dinner service. The secret for the ravioli is just the preparation time. The branzino needs to be seared properly to get a crispy skin nobody wants a soggy oily skin on his or her plate. This dish requires more skills, as the tuna needs to be seared on all the sides and still be rare inside, and the risotto cake must be fried just perfectly.įor the main course, they have to cook a branzino and short rib ravioli. ![]() The second appetizer is a seared tuna with a crispy risotto cake, sunchokes and sautéed fennel. The burrata is already made, but the key in this dish will be the seasoning of all the components and, of course, the plating. The first one is a burrata cheese with artichokes, cherry tomatoes, arugula and olive crostini. The junior cooks will have to reproduce two appetizers and two main courses from Drago Centro's sophisticated menu. Even if we struggled in the appetizer round, we pulled it off mostly because, in the end, we were the best team. Natasha picked Jessie and me against Bri, James and Krissi. In my season, the restaurant takeover was in Chef Wolfgang Puck's WP24 on the 24th floor of the Ritz-Carlton in Downtown LA. Also Dara and Alexander have very big personalities and if they don't put their egos aside they might have some trouble. Dara and the red team are the ones to beat, but you never know because even though they are the underdogs, the blue team may pull it together. Jack also joins Dara's team and by default, Sarah goes to Gavin. She's on the way to building a dream team. Dara has the first pick and obviously picks Alexander. I seriously think the judges may have taken this too far, but I am excited to watch and I hope I am wrong.ĭara and Gavin had the best dishes in the last elimination test: two marvelous chocolate layer cakes, so they will be team captains. The restaurant takeover is not only a MasterChef classic, but it's also one of the hardest challenges ever because MasterChef is a competition for home cooks - not professional cooks. The judges and kids enter the famous Italian restaurant Drago Centro in Downtown L.A. Well, I am seriously wrong!! Again! This show surprises me every week, and I love it. They cannot work in the pressure of a professional kitchen. Chef used the same words with us before our restaurant takeover challenge. Chef Ramsay tells the junior cooks this will be "a test in the real world." I know exactly what this means. When the kids walk inside the MasterChef kitchen, Chef Ramsay announces to them that they will not be cooking in the kitchen today, but instead are off for their first field challenge. One of these kids will make history by becoming the first ever U.S. On MasterChef Junior, we are down to the Top 6 junior home cooks in America.
